Fffrank Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 Running an HP GL380 G7 with dual X5660s and 128gb of RAM. It's long in the tooth but performance wise is quite capable for everything I run. Except..... All of the new homelab stuff that I want to play with is AI related and without a GPU (or even AVX) it's not able to do much. I don't see a way to fit a modern GPU into my case which is a 2u case with (16) 2.5" trays. So.... For whatever reason hardware prices don't seem to have come down. I'm running 12-14 year old hardware but if I look at upgrading to something that's maybe 5 years old I would be paying over $1000 for similar performance (but with the ability to add a GPU.). Seems expensive. Is there another way to add external access to a GPU somehow? If so, Is it good money into bad investing in such an old server? Quote Link to comment
